Use your scraps of card stock and designer paper to make some banners on a card. I made the ghost peeking out from the Stampin' Up! Owl Punch. Just cut off his feet and turn him upside down.....you have a ghost!

Balloon Happy Birthday Card

Birthday balloons

I love the idea to cut the balloon punches twice and layer them together for thickness. The chevron background also helps give depth to the balloons. Add some twine to the balloons on your DIY birthday card.
